You might remember in Fallout 2 when you get those random encounters near New Reno and other 'city' maps there's usually a cross road with a few ruined walls littering the area. Well, quick and simple I put a couple together: Just need the PVA to dry, undercoat and paint. They're a little bland, but they'll do the trick as interesting terrain blockers. Stay tuned...

Some barren walls sets a scene, some barren walls with a busted up book shelf and a ragged bed sets another scene. These are 'designed' (or should that just be planned) to fit in with other smaller items to set the scene on the battle field. Bingo Dan! After looking at Matakishi's site for ages now I'm tinkering with the old cork board to see how far I can go with it.

I should by rights get started on those three bits tonight after work, actually, I should get them knocked over tonight with a little luck.

Wasteland Legend Posts: 3,648 Group: Admins Member #2 Joined: Jul 24, 2008	Alright! Having a blast in my shed while I'm on holidays, making all sorts of things. I had some leftover bits of Masonite after cutting out bases for trees, only little bits, but I found a way to fill them: And I've done a piece of terrain that is reminiscent of a few PA like movies. The one thing that says to me 'end of the world, you should be sad,' is abandoned children's toys and playground equipment: Very happy with this piece, just have to dirt it etc
